The bar graph displays the GDP of the USA, Japan, China and Germany in the years 2005 and 2016
Overall, all four countries increased their GDP, while America had a GDP many times greater than any other country in both years. The other significant feature of this graph is that China nearly tripled its value in just 5 years.
America had a GDP of around $13,000 in 2005, triple that of Japan in second place, which only had a GDP of just over $4,000. Japan’s value was twice as much as the lowest in 2005, namely China, which only had a GDP of just over $2,000. Finally, Germany’s GDP was a little under $3,000.
The United States increased its GDP to approximately $15,000 in 2016, but China made significant gain on them by increasing their value by nearly $4,000 to $6,000, overtaking Japan as the second ranked country. At the same time, Japan and Germany’s GDP increased to just over $5,500 and $3,500 respectively.
